Rick and Marcy are itching to make their getaway to
the Schnookelheim spa in Switzerland. When things go
awry, they put plan B into action: turning their home into a make-believe Swiss
resort. But all the cuckoo clocks, Toblerones and
Swiss travel posters in the world can't save them from the onslaught of
unforeseen obstacles headed their way.

In 1734, Jean Luc de Montigny
sails to New France to settle his uncle’s estate and escape the haunting
memories of the brutal murder of his wife and daughter. He is quickly caught up
in the inequities of slavery, a fierce legal battle over the estate, and a love
affair with a woman whose husband and son were slain only months earlier. Their
relationship conjures up ghosts of passion and death, forcing them both to
confront their bloody pasts.
